Walk & Talk - Aktuelle Forschung, eure Fragen -

With “Walk & Talk – Current Research, Your Questions,” I want to take science out of the traditional lecture setting and bring it right into the heart of the city: During group walks, I’ll talk with experts about topics related to brain health, neurological disorders, and prevention. Anyone interested is welcome to join us for free, listen to the conversation, and ask their own questions at any time.

In this episode of Walk & Talk, I’m pleased to welcome Jan Jungehülsing, former senior physician in neurology at Charité and long-time chief of neurology at the Jewish Hospital in Berlin, as my guest. Together, we’ll discuss the topic “Healthy Blood Vessels, Healthy Brain?”

The brain is a high-performance organ that must be constantly nourished. Blood vessels are not just tubes, but an intelligent infrastructure. If this infrastructure fails acutely, it can lead—depending on where it happens—to a heart attack or stroke. If it functions poorly over an extended period, this can also affect the aging of our brain and our cognitive health.

How can we keep our blood vessels healthy for as long as possible and thereby provide our brain with the best possible nourishment?
